Connie, I find this so true. As an artist, I always relate this to art class, where the subject to be painted is in the center of the room and easels are positioned all around the perimeter. If you walk all around the room, you can see how everyone sees that same subject from a different angle - a different view! Anyhoo..., the visual helps me relate (when I need to)! Oh, and your cabin photos are always a wonderful treat any time of year! Becky

Some very good advice you have pasted along to us. Thanks for sharing, I believe I will need to ry this. And, it is snowing here again in PA, has been since about 6:00 a.m. though now it looks like it has let up. Need to change my seat, and get up and fill the bird feeders.

What a clever little saying! I think we all need to change our seat every once in a while. You never know what you might be missing by sitting in the same place all the time!Love your winter photos! They are lovely!Thank you for sharing!

PERFECT TIMING CONNIE AS A "NEW CHAIR" WILL BE DELIVERED TO ME THIS AFTERNOON... NOW I CAN CHANGE NOT ONLY MY SEAT BUT THE WHOLE ARRANGEMENT OF SEATING.... WE HAVE SUNSHINE TODAY I HAVE BEEN PUTTING IN MY GARDENS AND IT FEELS WONDERFUL TO BE OUTDOORS.. MANY SMILES & HUGS TO YOU... ~ B

Connie...Living in a condo now I only have SO many seats available to me. I always enjoy sitting in front of my large window looking outside though. The Snow is falling now (as you know Connie( and it's putting me in a Dream like mode...With the lights on outside it is a pleasure to watch AND be snug as a bug in a rug inside!!!

A most delightful post Connie! I find that I change seats as the light moves throughout the day. And it is so true...it gives one a new-found perspective, both visual and emotional. A wee vacation without leaving home!

At first I thought what is she talking about....BUT by now I should know YOU always are "spot" on!!! Tomorrow morning I will change my seat -and look out the kitchen window at the beautiful snow while having my coffee - figuring I might as well "embrace" the snow as it isn't going anywhere soon. I miss you too! Spring will come and we will "real" hug!!! XO, Judy

Great post, Connie. Your advice is spot on. Where we sit/stand, etc. has everything to do with how we feel at any given moment in any given space. It's why we feel comfortable in some surroundings and not in others. You gave us all a good reminder. Often, we get stuck in our ways and forget how the simplest things can change our mood. You've given your readers a real lift today with some very useful advice. Fondly,Joanne

I absolutely LOVE your cabin! Can I come & live there too? lolWe just recently bought a 24 yr. old log cabin. It's very "rustic" on the outside. Hoping to make it look better soon.I love all your decorations. I hope to have my house decorated with primitives someday as well. Blessings,Miki

It's so true. I have my particular seat in every room of my house. That Lydia is such a litter stinker, she knows which they are and has always tried to lay claim to them since she was a tiny thing.

Like I was saying though, your right! We were at my friend's home for the football game last weekend. I have my own seat there also but someone had taken it ~ the nerve! The seat ended up with gave me such a lovely new view of her home. I even commented on it to my SIL.

Don't you wish all life's problems could be solved that easily??

Stay warm and cozy in your pretty cabin. Hopefully soon we will be changing our seats out into the garden.

Connie, I just found your blog, and I love it. You are so right, I sit in the same chair in what ever room I am in. I want to change things around but most time I can't, maybe I am the one who needs to move not the furniture. Wow, now I can view things from a differnt view point. Oh and I love your antiques, I was raised with a father who had an antique business for 40 years, it gets in your blood. Thanks Vicky

Hi Connie: Just found you and SO glad I did...been having the "what-can-I-do's" to make some changes and you hit the spot! Love your pictures and of course your post. This is the time of year when we all get restless..but hang on...winter will be gone soon. Re-arranging wall decor seems to help me...come see me http://theoldefarmhouse.blogspot.comHugs, Joy
